ALBANY, Ind. (WISH) — A man has been sentenced to 145 years in prison for molesting four children as young as the age of 6.
Thomas Beall, 37, has been convicted for six counts of child molesting. According to court documents, Beall has been convicted for molesting four children as young as the age of 6 on multiple occasions over a span of four to five years in Albany.
